Any school board may enter into a contract with a commercial institution for the issuance of a telephone service or credit card that would bear the name of the school board. No such card shall contain an image of the seal of the Commonwealth or any of its localities. Each card issued shall bear on the front of such card words which indicate that the credit card is not a government credit card. The contract shall (i) provide that the contract is not to be interpreted as authority to license the locality or school board name or endorse commercial products in exchange for revenue, (ii) contain language indemnifying and protecting the locality and school board from legal action arising from the issuance of such card, and (iii) provide that a portion or percentage of the revenue generated by the use of such card will be returned to the local governing body, to be placed in a fund for public school purposes, for subsequent appropriation to the school board. Any such appropriation shall supplement, not supplant, any local funding for educational purposes.
The school board shall not enter into any such contract without following the provisions of, nor shall any such contract conflict with, any applicable budget or procurement statute, ordinance, or regulation of the state, locality or school board.
